Evergreen Way is a component of an improved network of streets as described in the In-Town Village and Evergreen/Front Corridor. It will be an attractive roadway that encourages pedestrian activity and includes wide sidewalks, outdoor dining, and a variety of pedestrian amenities. At the same time, the corridor is intended to accommodate both bicycles and on-street parking. The objective of the Evergreen Way project is to provide additional parking, beautify the railroad corridor, and to provide redevelopment opportunities along Evergreen Way and the In-Town Village area. It also serves as the preferred alternative to Project No. 13, the Central Avenue / Front Street Connection.
The project will be completed in four phases. Phase 1 extended from 6th Street to Main Street. Phase 2 will extend from 4th Street to 6th Street. Phase 3 extends from 8th Street to 10th Street. The section from Main Street to 8th Street was constructed with the Evergreen Parking Facility.
